  1. The backlog was manufactured on purpose to create a distraction from other Tory failures and to rile up the xenophobic base, also as an attack on the ECHR.

    If the backlog has been cleared in six weeks, why did it take five years to do it ?

    Or is it just Jimmy Dimly manipulating statistics again ?

    Either way I don't trust anything this current government says or does.

    General Election, please.

  2. YOU CAN'T BELIEVE ANYTHING THE GOVERNMENT OR THE MEDIA TELLS YOU IT IS ALL LIES LIES AND MORE LIES BRITAIN PEOPLE ARE SICK OF BEING TREAT LIKE IDIOTS AND PAYING FOR GOVERNMENT INCOMPETENCE
